What I love most about my neighborhood

I work in DC and absolutely love coming home to Baltimore everyday. Its a vibrant city with a small town feel where who you work for isn't the first question someone asks you. Baltimore has developed into a true foodie town. There are excellent year-round farmers markets providing fresh, healthy foods to the community and in the last few years, so many amazing breweries and local/seasonal restaurants have popped up. I also think Baltimore's art scene has really put the city on the map. The city has really embraced the idea of using arts and an economic driver and it's amazing to see these creative solutions in action. Lastly, being the huge history buff that I am, few cities compare to mob town!

What brought me here

I came to Baltimore to attend Goucher College and moved to the city half way through school. I ended up finding a job in DC after college and decided to stay in Baltimore and commute back and forth via MARC train.

What I love most about my neighborhood

The thing I love the most about Baltimore is its sense of pride and its ability to develop a close sense of community. Anywhere you go in the city, it's clear that living in Baltimore isn't just a description of the place people live, but a fundamental part of their identity. In many major cities, it can be all too easy to live in a neighborhood and not develop a sense of integration with the larger community. Baltimore, through its Downtown Partnership activities and other special events, not only gives residents a chance to show off their city pride, but also encourages newcomers to get involved. Whether it's laser light shows in the Inner Harbor, a German winter village by the Science Center, HonFest in Hampden, beach volleyball by the water, getting a world-class dinner at Harbor East, drinking some great craft beer at Brewer's Art in Mt. Vernon, or watching an outdoor movie in Little Italy, Baltimore makes it easy to call the city home.

What brought me here

I initially came to Baltimore for work and thought the location was great due to its low cost of living and proximity to DC and Philly. The longer I've lived here, the more I've come to love the city and appreciate its welcoming charm.
